“Nashville” continued its roller coaster ratings ride this week, with viewership for Wednesday night’s episode falling to 5.89 million.

Ratings have been up and down for the soapy drama series since it premiered in October. Last week, the Music City-filmed show had 6.1 million viewers, a week after its lowest viewership of the season, 5.7 million.

The most recent episode was second behind the CBS drama “C.S.I.” in its time slot and ahead of NBC’s “Chicago Fire.”

ABC announced earlier this week that it had picked up the drama series for a full 22-episode season. The drama will be shot in Nashville at least through the spring.
